Gigabit speeds w/ ac86u & Rogers Gigabit

[fossilx]

Hi,

I've been at this for 2 weeks after troubleshooting an issue with regards to the modem, line outside being cut by Bell doing fibre upgrades, and line noise that appeared out of no where.

I can finally get 40 up and 900 down when I connect directly to the modem in bridge mode. I know I was able to get those speeds through the router at one point after swapping out the ac68u for the ac86u. What I am getting is 34 up and 400 down at best through the router.

Things I have done:
-swapped modem out. (new modem performing to specs)
-tested wire from router to modem (able to get gigabit speeds from a laptop to the bridged modem using the same wire)
-turned off QOS (made the speeds worse).
-installed and configured FlexQOS (did nothing really)
-disabled AiProtect (made the speeds worse)
-rebooted whole network, no difference.
-Upgrade to latest beta release of Merlin running (386.1_beta2) after upgrading from the latest stable release, still same issue.

Once thing I've noticed is that I don't get the nice IP 94.x.x.x anymore and I get this 174.x.x.x which I've read attributes to poor performance.

CPU performance is normal and not peaking by any means.

Is there anything else I can do or look at? Oh, I got one of those crappy white hitron box modems.

Most likely the problem is cut through forwarding and flow accelerator. Go to LAN-Switch Control-NAT Acceleration and set it to Auto. What does it say on the right of Auto after you apply the setting?

I don't have those options. I only see Jumbo Frame Rate (Enabled) and Spanning Tree Protocol (Disabled). Under sysinfo, I see Runner: Enabled - Flow Cache: Enabled.

My bad I thought you are using AC68U. For AC86U, you cannot change any hardware acceleration settings. CTF and FA are replaced by Flow Cache and Runner. Since you have both enabled, gigabit shouldn't be a problem. Maybe try a factory reset?

Disable Jumbo Frame Rate.

Don’t waste anymore energy...I had a similar problem with Bell Fibe along with other issues and all it took was a factory reset of my ac68u router. After the reset I didn’t do anything else right away except test speed and all was good getting gigabit speeds. I then used the nvram restore tool to replace my settings back and all was still good afterwards. I power cycled my bell modem for good measure as well after the factory reset of the Asus. good luck
